Hi,

thank you very much for your answer!

I relly understood that you couldn’t give me legal advice, I just thought that maybe
you knew about some organisation etc. who could maybe give advice on this.

I should probably have made it more clear in the e-mail, that it was this I meant.

Since there isn’t always that easy, for different reasons, to get help from an attorney.

But that’s my problem I guess.

But what I was hoping that you could maybe answer me about, was if there was a
time-limit for filing the DMCA counter-complaint.

So this was the main reason for my enquiery, but I should maybe have clearified this.

So that’s why I’m trying to e-mail you again, in case that point got a bit lost in my last
e-mail.

(Also if you know what the next procedure usually is in an DMCA complaint-process,
that would be fine, but I’m also going to search more on the internet regarding this,
so this is only if you have the time and oppertunity to answer).

So I hope that you have the chance to answer me about this, and thanks in advance for
the reply!

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

I can’t see that I’ve recieved an answer to this e-mail yet.

I’m not so used with dealing with cases like this, and also not used to
deal
with
to copyright laws.

But I’m trying to send a new e-mail anyway, since I’m not sure where to
ask
for
advice regarding this.

The reason I have put the files in the deleted entry on the blog, is
because
I’m
trying to ‘whistleblow’ regarding whats going on in the Arvato Ltd. firm,
and the
Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation there.

This is about an (organised) harassment at work case.

And it’s conected with a crime-case in the company, (which I have got
confirmed
about from the Norwegian embassy in London), and this most certianly, as
far
as
I can understadn, must be an orginised crime/mafia/mob-case.

And that’s why I think it’s important that I try to deal with this in an
as
proper way
as possible.

So, even if I’m a Norwegian living in Britain, I still would want to
pursue
this matter
with a DMCA counter-complaint.

I’m in the process of contacting law-firms in Britain, to get help with
the
(organised)
harassment at work issues.

And I think this DMCA issue propably should be included with that case.

Also, I was wondering if not the purpose of ‘whistleblowing’, should be
looked at as
more relevant than copyright issues, (even if it also seems a bit strange
to
me
that this should be a copyright issue, the files removed, where files like
summarys
from employee meetings at Arvato Ltd, and shift-plans, and also the entry
containing
only my CV, was deleted from the blog).

So that’s why I’m trying to write to you again.

I was wondering if you knew about how the rules are surrounding the
‘whistleblower’
issues, in regards to the DMCA law?

Because it could be that the British law-firms need a bit of time to deal
with this,
(from earlier experience with companies like these), so I was also
wondering

how long time I have got to file a DMCA counter-complaint.

So I’m sorry that I’m sending you so many e-mails about this!

I should have prepared more on the last e-mails I sent maybe, so I
appologise for
this.

But I hope that you have the chance to have a look at this anyway!

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

thank you very much for your reply again!

By the way, I’ve checked on the internet, and it said that DMCA, was a US
copyright law.

So is the fax-number American then?

And is it Arvato in the US or in the UK, who has sent the complaint?

I’m sorry I haven’t lived that long in the UK, so I got a bit cunfused
here.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

COMPLAINT BLOGGER

I just wanted to please complain about a couple of issues surrounding Blogger.

1. Blogger let the company Arvato Ltd. remove my resume/C.V., and other

of my personal documents from work, from my blog, from these URL’s:

https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-8.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-9.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-15.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-16.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-17.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-18.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-19.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-20.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-21.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-22.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-23.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-24.html
https://johncons-blogg.net/2007/10/enclosure-25.html

This was done, with the following reason: ‘In accordance with the DMCA, we have completed

processing your infrigment complaint regarding the following URLs:’

I don’t think it’s right that my CV should be deleted from my blog, since it’s says on my CV,

that I was working for 15 months for Arvato Ltd., on the Microsoft Scandinavian Product

Activation, in Liverpool.

I don’t think, that even if the name ‘Arvato’, is protected by copyright, still I don’t it’s against

the law, to write the word ‘Arvato’, in a document, like this e-mail or in a CV.

And I also think one have the right to publish work-related documents, given to oneself

in person, at ones workplace, especially since this was part of a ‘whistleblowing’ process.

So I think this removal of documents from my blog, was a bit peculiar, so I would think it

would be very fine, if you could have had a look at this, and checked that everything was

done, in accordence with standard procedures in cases like this.

2 In the e-mail from support@blogger.com, from 10/23/07, it says that:

‘We apologize for the mix up. Blogger has been notified, according to the
terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that some of your
images allegedly infringe upon the copyrights of others. The URLs of the
allegedly infringing images may be found at the end of this message.

The notice that we received, with any personally identifying information
removed, may be found at the following link:
http://www.chillingeffects.org/notice.cgi?sID=4463′.

I’ve been checking this, the mentioned link above, several times, since 23. October, but I can’t

really say, that it has been possible, to see the notice Blogger recieved from Arvato Ltd. on the

mentioned URL at all.

So I was wondering if it please would be possible to update mentioned link, since the e-mail,

from Blogger, where it says that the notice from Arvato Ltd. would be possible to be found

on the chillingeffects-link, is more than three months old.

So I think it should have been possible to see the notice by now.

So I think it would be very fine, if Blogger could eighter update the link, or maybe send me a

copy of the notice, in an e-mail, since I’m a bit currious about what the notice says, since

I think, like I mentioned above, that the removal of my CV and the other files, was a maybe

a bit peculiar.

And, like I mentioned above, I’m also involved in a ‘whistleblowing’-process, and harassment

at work legal-case, against the same Arvato Ltd. company, so I suspect that this, the

DMCA complaint, could be linked with the employement-case/whistleblowing process.

So I think it would be very fine, if it would be possible to please have a look at the mentioned

notice.

3. The reason, that I’m writing this letter, and not just sending another e-mail to

support@blogger.com, is that, I’m not receiving any more answer to the e-mails I sent

to Blogger support.

So I think it would be very fine, if it would be possible to please get a reason for why this is,

that I’m not recieving any answers to my latest e-mail.

(I’ll enclose copies of these e-mails).

4. I was wondering, like I was writing in one of the last e-mails I sent support@blogger.com,

about how long time one have, if one wanted to file a DMCA counter-complaint, if one

wanter to complain about the removal of the files from the blogg.

Since, I thought that the removal of the files from my blog, could maybe seem a bit strange,

since I couldn’t really see how my CV etc., could be connected with any type of copyright

infridgment.

So I’m trying to get some more advice on how to go forward with a DMCA counter-complaint,

and then I think it would be very useful, to know, if possilbe, how long time one have got,

if one wanted to file a counter-complaint like this.

So I think it would be very fine if you would have the oppertunity to help me with answering

these questions.

I’ll also enclose copies of the correspondance between support@blogger.com, and myself.

So I hope this is alright, and thank you very much for your help in advance!

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog
